I am here to provide you with the tools to be the best possible musician you can be in any given scenario. Anything from dedicating your life to being a professional musician to playing guitar at campfires, I believe we need to be properly equipped with the tools to do our very best in these situations. I take a very personalized approach for each student based on their level and the direction they see themselves going in. However, there are fundamental aspects of the instrument that must be learned regardless of your goals in the music. I strike a balance between establishing these rudiments while staying focused on the very reason we picked up this instrument in the first place... to make music!
